"Last week, a much quieter inaugural affair, the Max Reger Foundation of America gala put together a little shin dig at Landmark on the Park...I’m glad I did not take any instincts to spring out the back door early because i would have missed some extraordinary musicians, including cellist Jessie Reagen Mann."

"Jessie Reagen was the first to catch my eye as she joyously tossed her blond curls while bowing her cello. Serious musicians so often have such serious looks on their faces that it's always a pleasure when their physical expression mirrors their musical expression."
